Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was a titan of English literature, renowned for his prolific output and intricate portrayals of Victorian society. His works often provide a trenchant critique of the social and economic disparities of his time, imbuing his narratives with both humor and moral gravity. Hailing from a modest family, Dickens’ experiences in a blacking factory as a child and his later job as a court reporter deeply influenced his literary career, instilling in him a sensitivity to the struggles of the underprivileged and a flair for vivid characterization (Ackroyd, 1990). Dickens’ narrative prowess is exemplified in the lesser-known work ‘Mrs. Lirriper’s Legacy’, a testament to his exploration of diverse genres and forms, ranging from the serialized novel to shorter fictions, often published in the journals he edited. His mastery of prose and insightful social commentary resonate through his large and varied bibliography, which includes iconic novels such as ‘Oliver Twist’, ‘Great Expectations’, and ‘A Tale of Two Cities’. Dickens’ literary style is marked by his dexterity with both pathos and comedy, the creation of memorable characters, and his use of cliffhangers, a legacy of his serialized publications (Forster, 1872-1874). A champion of social reform, Dickens left behind a body of work that continues to captivate and provoke critical thought among readers and scholars alike.
